Wheel TUTORIAL Blender - Hard Surface Modeling Jul 19, 2022

We have a pretty badass video today.

We'll get right to the point - we're going to design a super simple SciFi wheel using some intermediate-advanced hard surface modeling techniques.

We'll cover:

  • Simple shrinkwrap solutions for a more dynamic feel
  • How to use primitive objects to create complex...

However, there is one specific model that Ryuu recently did a fantastic job on. I was seriously impressed!

And guess what? This model is really simple to make.

We've...

Subd modeling is difficult!

For years, we have been pushed an 'all-quad' workflow. If you've watched any of our tutorials, you'll know that we are big proponents of a ngon and boolean-based workflow.

But how in the world can we use subdivision surface modeling if we're using ngons all the time?
